The planting and cultivation of natural rubber in Malaysia has been decreasing because of the growth of secondary and tertiary industries as the economic development. On the other hand, the latex glove industry that use natural rubber latex has been growing. For the relaxation of supply and demand balance, glove manufacturers, 1) import natural rubber latex from Thailand, 2) make foreign direct investment of natural rubber, 3) set up factories in natural rubber latex producing countries, and 4) try to increase the production of nitrile glove rubber.
